Fig. 9 is a section on the line 99 of Fig. 8. The carrier member 21may also-have a plurality In the following description and in theclaims, of struck in projections 29 to fix the position of variousdetails will be identified by specific the stick material 30.

names for convenience, butthey are intended to The protuberance or ribI3 is of relatively small I50 be as generic in their application as theart will dimension, as shown, and is for the purpose of permit. insuringa tight fit between the cap 3| and the Like reference characters denotelike parts casing III. This takes care of any slight differin theseveral figures of the drawing. ence in dimensions caused in themanufacture In the drawing accompanying and forming of these parts. Thecapil may be made of metal 55 and in one form illustrated is flush withthe outside of the casing.

To assemble the parts, the carrier member 21 is. placed within theoperating tube IS with the projection 28 within helical groove IS. Theoperating tube I6 is then inserted into the bottom of the casing tubeIII with projection 28 sliding in groove M. The tapered lower end of theinside surface of easing tube l0 assists compressing the spring tongues20, facilitating assembly, the tongues 20 then expanding into the groovel5.

In order to use the holder, the cap 3| is first removed and the stickmaterial fed outwardly by turning the knurled portion 26 with respect tothe casing Ill; The relative movement of the helical slot l9 andstraight groove I4 feeds the carrier member 21 upwardly. The stickmaterial is retracted by rotation of the parts in the oppositedirection. The operating member l6 and casing I 0 are held in assembledposition by the disposition of the tongues 20 in the groove l5.

Referring now to Figs. 8 and 9, in this form the casing 32 is made ofmetal, and is provided with an intumed flange 33, circular groove 35 anda straight axial groove 34. It will be noted that due to the type ofmaterial, the formation of these grooves causes corresponding beads tobe formed on the outer surface of the casing. If desired, a carriermember and operating member, similar to that described above, may beused with this casing. A suitable cap (not shown) may also be provided,with this form fitting over the outside of the casing 32. In the formshown no provision is made for seating the cap flush with the outersurface of the casing, but, if desired, this feature may beincorporated.

The above construction has the advantage of being inexpensive to produceand comprises a minimum number of parts. The holder is especiallyattractive when the casing is made of colored molded material whichcontrasts agreeably with the brightness of the metal operating memberand cap. In this construction it is quite simple to place a straightaxial groove in the inner wall of the casing and a helical slot in theoperating member. The above construction also insures ease andsmoothness of operation and the rib on the casing also insures theproper flt between cover and casing.

While certain novel features of the invention have been disclosed andare pointed out in the annexed claims, it will be understood thatvarious omissions, substitutions and changes may be made by thoseskilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What is claimed is:

1. A holder for stick material and the like comprising an outercylindrical casing tube having thick walls, said tube having an upper,inwardly extending flange and having a lower circular end roove in itsinner wall, said tube also having a straight longitudinal grooveextending from said end flange to the lower end of said tube, the depthof said grooves being less than the thickness of the wall of said casingtube, said casing tube having a lower flaring mouth between saidcircular groove and the lower end of the tube, an inner operating tubedisposed within said casing tube against said end flange, said innertube having a helical slot and a lower .cap member disposed against thelower edge of said casing tube, a carrier member within said inner tubeand having a part fitting in said helical and longitudinal slots, saidinner tube having spring members riding in said circular groove.

2. A holder for stick material and the like comprising an outercylindrical casing tube having thick walls and having a substantiallysmooth exterior surface throughout the exposed part of the casing tube,said tube having an upper, inwardly extending end flange and having alower circular end groove in its inner wall, said tube also having astraight longitudinal groove extending from said end flange to the lowerend of said tube, the depth of said grooves being less than thethickness of the wall of said casing tube, said casing tube having alower flaring mouth between said circular groove and the lower end ofthe tube, an inner operating tube disposed within said casing tubeagainst said end flange, said inner tube having a helical slot and alower cap member disposed against the lower edge of said casing tube, acarrier member within said inner tube and having a part fitting in saidhelical and longitudinal slots, said inner tube having circularcantilever spring tongues riding in said circular groove, said casingtube having a reduced upper end forming a small shoulder on its exteriorsurface, and a thin walled cover on said reduced upper end disposedagainst said shoulder.

3. A holder for stick material and the like com. prising an outercylindrical casing tube having comparatively thick walls, said tubehaving an upper inwardly extending flange and having a lower circularend groove in its inner wall near the bottom thereof, said tube alsohaving a straight longitudinal groove extending from substantially saidend flange to the lower end of said tube, the depth of said groovesbeing less than the thickness of the wall of said casing tube, an inneroperating element comprising an inner tube and a lower cap member, saidinner tube disposed within said casing tube with its upper end adjacentsaid end flange, said inner tube having a helical slot, said cap memberbeing disposed adjacent the lower edge of said casing tube, a carriermember within said inner tube and having a part fitting in said helicalslot and longitudinal groove, said operating member having spacedprojections riding in said circular groove to hold said casing tube andoperating member assembled.
